Odd Talents and Anniversarys

I have an odd talent. I can remember dates, birthdays, and events with amazing clarity. I can remember the year, month, and usually the day something has happened not only to myself but anybody I come in contact with.

For real ask me a date about something and I could probably tell you when, where, and all about it.

Brett thinks it is weird that I can remember my sister-in-law's, brother's, daughter's birthday. I don't know why I remember these things, but I do.

I can remember birthdays for most people I know, and their kids, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, and Grandparents. If not the exact date, I can usually get the month right. (Disclaimer: just because I know the date does not always guarantee that I will remember on the day, I am a space cadet).

I still haven't figured out how this talent is useful in anyway. Usually I just get weird looks from people when I say, "Hey your kid so-and-so's birthday is coming up and they are turning ___ age, right?" No, I don't secretly stalk people, I just remember when they were born, married, divorced, sick, went on vacation, etc.

Anyway today is one of those random dates I remember. I remember it well. It was this day 14 years ago that Brett and I went on our first date.

The rest was history...
